      Engineering culture sucks

      Pros

      The company tries to have fun events from time to time (such as a company-wide conference).

      Cons

      There is not much flexibility in the work for engineers. Also, there is very little chance to work on something that is very impactful. Poor engineering quality compared to more engineering-driven companies such as Google, Facebook, or Twitter.

      Pros

      Amazing talent, fast pace, awesome CEO, great potential in the market, cool technology stack, fun environment, employees well cared for.

      Cons

      Bad upper management (but not the CEO, he's awesome), chronic disorganization, internal politics are completely opaque, very young workforce lacks some degree of insight.

      Pros

      - Smart people - Good work-life balance. - Lots of interesting (both in a good way and a bad way) things to work on. - Tremendous upside both intellectually and financially. - The product is actually cool once you cast off the stereotype that it's just for middle-aged white women in Kansas.

      Cons

      - Food is average at best - No gym - Onboarding process for new engineers needs work, but it's getting better. - Company plan for shedding the initial stereotypes is not clear. - The office floor plan / open layout / lighting sucks. - There are some stupid political undertones brewing in the engineering org. I suppose that's inevitable, though, as the company grows.
